      June Porch Party: 6/19

      Movie Night: Sunshine State
      Friday, June 19 at 7:00 PM at the Gulfport Public Library
      Doors open at 6:00 PM for the Annual Members Meeting at 6:15 PM.
      Film begins at 7:00 PM. Running time is 2 hours 21 minutes.

      Summer is here! Now it’s time to join Gulfport Arts & Heritage for a classic Florida film: Sunshine State

      In this John Sayles comedy, we meet two extraordinary Florida women. Marly is a former mermaid performer now staunchly defending her family’s old beachside motel from prowling developers; Desiree is a former beauty queen returning to make amends with her estranged mother.  Each becomes embroiled in a struggle to save their community, which is marked by the scars of development, ecological destruction, and the enduring legacy of racial segregation. Sunshine State was lauded for outstanding performances from Edie Falco, Mary Steenburgen, and St. Pete’s own Angela Bassett, who netted Best Actress recognition from both the Black Reel Awards and the NAACP Image Awards for her portrayal of Desiree. Complete with its “Greek chorus” of bemused golfers, the film explores some very Floridian questions about identity, community, and justice in the land of sunshine in a memorable, only-in-Florida way.

      Soda and popcorn will be served. No cost to attend, though donations are always appreciated.

    • TowBoatUS Steinhatchee Under New Ownership

      TowBoatUS Steinhatchee Under New Ownership, Continuing Trusted On-Water Assistance Along Florida’s Gulf Coast 

       

      New owner-operator Carson Mullen steps in to ensure dependable service for local boaters from Cedar Key to the Econfina River 

       

      An image of Carson Mullen, Owner-Operator of TowBoatUS Steinhatchee 

       

      STEINHATCHEE, FL – May 14, 2026 – TowBoatUS, North America’s largest network of towing ports, announced today that U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain Carson Mullen has taken the helm of TowBoatUS Steinhatchee

       

      With more than 152,000 BoatUS members across Florida, access to dependable on-water assistance remains an important resource for the state’s boating community. TowBoatUS Steinhatchee serves Florida’s Big Bend coastline from Cedar Key to the Econfina River, a service area extending 25 miles offshore and known for its remote access points. 

       

      Mullen brings several years of hands-on experience with TowBoatUS, having served as a captain in multiple locations before purchasing the Steinhatchee port. With peak boating season underway along Florida’s Gulf Coast, this transition ensures continuity of service for the region’s tight-knit coastal boating community while positioning the port for future growth.  

       

      A lifelong boater originally from Lake Wylie, South Carolina, Mullen grew up on the water in a family passionate about boating and water sports. After being introduced to the process of becoming a licensed captain, he quickly acted on the opportunity to build a career, eventually serving as a captain at TowBoatUS Lake Wylie before relocating to Southwest Florida. 

       

      “Boating has always been a part of my life, and being able to turn that into a career and a business is incredibly rewarding,” said Mullen, owner and operator of TowBoatUS Steinhatchee. “This is a small, close-knit boating community, and my goal is to build on the strong foundation already here while continuing to provide dependable, professional service. When Gulf Coast boaters need help, I want them to know they can count on me to get them home safely.” 

       

      TowBoatUS Steinhatchee is based at Sunset Place Marina, located at the mouth of the Steinhatchee River, where it operates a 25-foot Boston Whaler Frontier response vessel. Operated solely by Mullen, the service provides towing, fuel delivery, battery jump-starts, and assistance for boats that run aground, serving as a critical first call for recreational boaters when unexpected issues arise on the water. 

       

      Much like an auto club for recreational boat owners, Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) offers on-water towing memberships for $215/year for saltwater. In addition to a BoatUS Towing Membership, members also receive more than 25 valuable BoatUS benefits including a subscription to award-winning BoatUS Magazine, free DSC-VHF radio registration and more.   

       

      To request on-water assistance, boaters can call the BoatUS toll-free 24/7 Dispatch Center at 800-391-4869, download the free BoatUS App, which connects boaters to the closest local towing captain, call TowBoatUS Steinhatchee directly at (352) 550-3009, or hail on VHF radio Ch. 16.
